I have to admit that I had to try this technique few times before getting the perfect stamp because I was adding too much water - this one you see in the tag is a second generation stamp and I am truly impressed how the result is vivid!

I completed the background with some more stamping, sewing machine stitch and other little details to create some more interest!

Before assemble everything together I cut a piece of vellum and colored it with Alizarin Crimson Color Burst and I love how the transparency of the Vellum still "mix" with the background creating a fantastic Violet-blueish shade!
